What We Are Learning In Preschool :: August Week 3
August Overview: This month, preschoolers will discover that God helps us grow to be more like Him! As they learn about the Fruit of the Spirit, they'll see they can show God to others through the way they live.
Bible Story: David and Abigail (1 Samuel 25:1-35)
Main Point: God is PEACE! I can show peace.
Memory Verse: "But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control." Galatians 5:22-23 (NLT)
As a family, read the Bible story together. Then, watch this week’s lesson video on the eKidz Online YouTube page to continue the conversation.
This week, children learned how Abigail helped bring peace when David was angry. Instead of making the problem worse, she spoke kindly and helped everyone stay calm. God is peace, and He helps us bring peace wherever we go. We can show God to others by using kind words, staying calm, and helping others get along.

🕰 Engage in everyday moments together this week:
When You Get Up: Pray together, "God, help us show Your peace today by using kind words and staying calm."
While You’re At Home: During playtime, practice taking turns or solving a small disagreement together. Remind your child that choosing peace helps show others what God is like.
As You’re On The Way: Talk about situations that might make someone feel frustrated. Ask, "What could you do to help bring peace instead?"
When You Lie Down: Before bed, ask, "How did you help bring peace today?" Thank God for helping your family show His peace through your words and actions.
